Re: lost my brakes after emergency stop

If no sign of fluid loss, it would seem that master is at fault. I had a failure in a 64 Chevelle because of the master. It wasn't even a BTV either -- but the pedal went to the metal and I sailed right thru a 4 way stop. Lucked out that no one else was there and the car stopped fine the next time. On the rebuild, there didn't appear to be a reason for the failure.

One other thing worth looking at is the actuating rod and attachment to the pedal. Any chance the emergency hard stop could have bent or broken or dislodged the old rod or the attachment pin to pedal?
